DATABASE FUNCTIONS-DEFINED NETWORK SWITCH AND DATABASE SYSTEM

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system are provided, including executing an application programming interface (API) in a network switch to define at least one of one or more database functions, performing, using one or more processors, the one or more database functions on at least a portion of data contained in a data message received at the switch, to generate result data, and routing the result data to one or more destination nodes. A database function-defined network switch includes a network switch and one or more processors to perform a pre-defined database function on query data contained in data messages received at the switch, to produce result data, wherein the pre-defined database function is performed on the query data in a first mode of operation to a state of full completion, generating complete result data and no skipped query data, or to a state of partial completion, generating partially completed result data and skipped query data.
